Wreck victim’s condition improves

The condition of a Raymond man injured in a wreck with a log truck on Mississippi 3 has been upgraded to stable at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, a hospital spokesman said Saturday.

Brandon Quinn, 23, 3500 Old Dover Road, was taken to the hospital after the accident just north of U.S. 61 North on Dec. 5.

His car seemingly crossed the center line of the two-lane highway before hitting the truck, Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol trooper Scott Henley said.

The truck driver was not injured.
